India will launch its first unmanned mission to the Moon on 22 October, the country’s space officials say, weather conditions permitting.

The spacecraft, named Chandrayaan-1, will orbit the Moon, surveying its surface with high-resolution equipment.

The launch had been scheduled for April, but was pushed back due to technical problems.

The project will cost $83m and has the direct involvement of six other countries, including the US and Europe.

Over the next two years, it will survey the lunar surface to produce a complete map of its chemical characteristics and its three-dimensional topography.

The European Space Agency (Esa) is supporting the mission, supplying three instruments.

These will investigate the Moon’s surface and near-surface composition, and the way the lunar body interacts with the fast-moving particles streaming away from the Sun.

Chandrayaan-1 will also drop a small impact probe on to the lunar surface to test its properties.

Drona - Movie Review
Bollywood Buzz reviews the antasy/adventure blockbuster.

The much awaited news has just hit the stands (read ‘news stands’). We are indeed talking about GQ, the world’s leading men’s magazine and their super-mega Indian launch, which has got none other than the Nawab Pataudi Jr. (Saif Ali Khan) himself for starters. Even though he looks his usual element on the cover along with a hot PYT chic, we would have definitely preferred him with his trademark glares.

Nevertheless, this issue has Saif speaking (read ‘confessing’) that “Married men who are inaccessible are definitely hotter for women… In most of my relationships, I’ve been unfaithful, and I don’t want to do that anymore… I’ve done things backwards. I’ve been married; I’ve lived with someone, now I’m dating someone.” Honest confessions there by Saif!

If that was not enough, the readers can feast their eyes on the super hot and super sexy Yuvraj Singh (who is a pro in both bowling maiden over as well as even the maidens over!) and Arjun Rampal, to say the least!

And if that was not enough, the magazine also has Karan Johar as the contributing editor. Looking at the launch issue, we can surely say that ‘GQ…has arrived’!
